CIGAR ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 505,401, dated September19, 1893.

Application filed December 17, 1892. Serial No. 455,508. (No model.)

a simple, inexpensive funnel 0r hood shaped device, adapted to beattached to a cigar, which will efiectively serve to deflect the heatand smoke while smoking, to prevent such heat and smoke from passinginto the eyes and nose of the smoker.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of such device, ashereinafter fully described in the specification and particularlypointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im provement asapplied for use. Fig. 2 is a perspective front view of the same. Fig. 3is a perspective rear view and Fig. 4 is a cross section.

My improvement comprises a funnel like or hood shaped body portion,formed of any light material, not easily set on flre, and preferably anon-conductor of heat: and such body consists of a base portion A,approximately horizontal and an upper conical hood portion B, open atthe front end as at 1), its rear part tapering downwardly andrearwardly, and ending at an aperture 0, which registers with a pocketlike portion D, open at both ends, and tapering from its front to itsrear end for a purpose presently explained.

By reference to the drawings it will be seen that the cigar is fitted inthe pocket D, its point being passed through the smaller end thereof,the hood portion projecting forward over the end of the cigar, such hoodbeing adapted for adjustment on the cigar, it having a suitable fingerpiece F whereby it can be easily slid thereon. To hold the hood to anyof its adjusted positions, I prefer, when such hood is formed of aspringy material, to slit its rear end to form clamp prongs G, whichhave a slight clamp bearing against the cigar body. In some instanceshowever, the end Gr of the hood may be formed of some elastic materialwhich will snugly fit around the cigar. These clamp portions may howeverbe entirely dispensed with, when the holder is made of some pliablematerial. In such instances the holders are made with the opening 0 ofdifierent sizes.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings itwill be seen that the device can be easily placed on the cigar and movedto any place thereon.

By constructing the hood with an outwardly projecting portion, the heatand smoke from the end of the cigar is prevented from passing into thenose or eyes of the smoker, conveying it, as it were, outward and upwardfrom the face, giving the smoker free breathing without the necessity ofremoving the cigar from his mouth. Furthermore as the outer end is open,there is no difliculty in lighting the cigar, and as the pocket D isflared toward the front, the cigar can be smoked up to near its poi pt,without having the lighted portion coming in direct contact with suchpocket, such construction also providing for a free circulation of airaround the cigar while burning. By the use of this device the cigar willnot go out so easily,

as without it, and the effect on the person smoking is much lessinjurious in every respect than it is when smoking in the ordinarymanner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. A smoke deflector for cigars comprising a body portion apertured atits lower end to slip onto the cigar, and its upper end extendedupwardly and forwardly to form a hood portion, substantially as and forthe purpose described.

2.. A smoke and heat deflector for cigars, comprising a body having apocket D tapered from the rear to the front, said pocket adapted toreceive the cigar therethrough and a hood portion projected upward andforward as and for the purpose described.

3. A heat and smoke deflector for cigars, comprising a body portionformed with a pocket to receive the cigar through it, a finger piece anda forwardly and upwardly exend, and a forwardly and upwardlyextendtending hood portion as and for the purpose ing hoodportion,allsubstantially as set forth. described.

4. A new article of manufacture for the rlHOMAS GUILFOYLE' 5 purposedescribed, comprising a body portion Witnesses:

having pocket D to receive the cigar, said E. H. NOLAN, pocket havingclamping portions at its rear D. J. HANLEY.
